Need the correct link token

[lesliekirk]

I have a snippet that display all of the subcategories of a specific parent category. The problem I'm having is it uses &mvt:subcat:code;.html for the link. That creates exactly that a link with the subcategory code instead of the canonical URI.

<mvt:assign name="g.category_code" value="'category_code_here'" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Runtime_CategoryList_Load_Parent( l.settings:current_category:id, l.settings:sub_categories )" />

<section class="o-layout u-grids-1 u-grids-2--m u-grids-3--l x-product-list" style="margin-top:16px; margin-left:0;">
<mvt:foreach iterator="subcat" array="sub_categories">
<div class="o-layout__item x-product-list__item">
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-cssui-cattree.mvc'" name="l.success" value="CSSUI_CatTree_Load(l.settings:subcat:id, l.settings:subcat:tree_image)" />

<figure class="x-product-list__figure">
<picture class="x-product-list__picture container">

<a class="u-block u-color-black x-product-list__link" href="/&mvt:subcat:code;.html"><img class="x-product-list__image t-lazy-load-image lazyload image" src="&mvt:subcat:tree_image:image;" alt="&mvt:subcat:name;" width="510" height="402"></a>
</picture>

<a class="u-block u-color-black x-product-list__link" href="/&mvt:subcat:code;.html" title="&mvt:subcat:name;"> <figcaption class="x-product-list__figure-caption">
<span class="x-product-list__name u-color-oxide">&mvt:subcat:name;</span>
</figcaption>
</a></figure>
</div>
</mvt:foreach>
</section>

Is there a way to use the existing code that displays subcategories but have it display the subcategories of a specific parent category? I tried changing the EQ l.settings:category:id to EQ the category code but it didn't work.

 <mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="category_children">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:category_children:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
<mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcategories, l.settings:category_children, -1)" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcategory_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcategorie s)" />

<section class="o-layout u-grids-1 u-grids-2--m u-grids-3--l x-product-list" style="margin-top:16px;">
<mvt:foreach iterator="subcategory" array="subcategories">
<div class="o-layout__item u-text-center x-product-list__item">

<figure class="x-product-list__figure">
<!-- this needs to be changed
<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Category_Code( l.settings:subcategory:code, 'daisy', l.settings:daisy )" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:daisy">
<span class="x-product-label"><img src="graphics/00000001/LittleDaisy_transparent.png" alt="Discount Daisy" style="width:37px; height:37px;"></span>
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcategory:image">
<a href="&mvt:subcategory:link;"><img class="x-product-list__image t-lazy-load-image" src="&mvt:subcategory:image;" alt="&mvt:subcategory:name;" width="370" height="292"></a>
</mvt:if>
-->
<h2 class="u-color-oxide" style="font-size:1.2rem; font-weight:bold;"><a href="&mvt:subcategory:link;">&mvte:subcategory:na me;</a></h2>

</figure>
</div>
</mvt:foreach>
</section>

Suggestions are welcome, please.

Hey Leslie,
Try: &mvte:subcat:link; for the link. What are you trying to accomplish here? Do you want to display all of the subcategories contained within the parent category of the category you're on?

I am trying to display the subcategories of a specific parent category. The mvt:assign would have the actual category code in it.

<mvt:assign name="g.category_code" value="'category_code_here'" />

Anyway, if that's the case, then this should get you started:
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcategories GT 0"><mvt:else>
<mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="cattree_category">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:cattree_category:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:parent_id">
<mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcats, l.settings:cattree_category, -1)" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:foreach iterator="sub_category_top" array="subcats">
<!-- your subcategory template code here -->
</mvt:foreach>

Please note that this will only generate subcategories, for categories that do not contain subcategories (remove the initial if statement if you always want to generate).

If the link still isn't working, try this:
<mvt:assign name="g.category_code" value="'your category code'" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Runtime_CategoryList_Load_Parent( l.settings:current_category:id, l.settings:sub_categories )" />

<section class="o-layout u-grids-1 u-grids-2--m u-grids-3--l x-product-list" style="margin-top:16px; margin-left:0;">
<mvt:foreach iterator="subcat" array="sub_categories">

<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code(l.settings:subcat:code, l.settings:product_list_category)" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:store_id" value="g.Store:id" />
<mvt:assign name="l.uri:cat_id" value="l.settings:product_list_category:id" />
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_URI_DB" name="l.have_uri" value="URI_Load_Item_Canonical(l.uri, l.settings:canonical_uri)" />

<div class="o-layout__item x-product-list__item">
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Root $ '/modules/component/cmp-cssui-cattree.mvc'" name="l.success" value="CSSUI_CatTree_Load(l.settings:subcat:id, l.settings:subcat:tree_image)" />

Thanks Ryan,

I've almost got it. Just a small tweak for a custom field and it should be done. Here's what I used

 <mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="category_children">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:category_children:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
<mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcategories, l.settings:category_children, -1)" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:subcategory_count" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcategorie s)" />
<section class="o-layout u-grids-1 u-grids-2--m u-grids-3--l x-product-list" style="margin-top:16px; margin-left:0;">
<mvt:foreach iterator="subcategory" array="subcategories">
<div class="o-layout__item x-product-list__item">
<figure class="x-product-list__figure">
<picture class="x-product-list__picture container">

<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Category_Code( l.settings:subcategory:code, 'daisy', l.settings:daisy )" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:daisy">
<span class="x-product-label"><img class="t-lazy-load-image" src="graphics/00000001/1/specials-icon.png" width="75" height="75" alt="Special Pricing"></span>
</mvt:if>
<a class="u-block u-color-black x-product-list__link" href="&mvte:subcategory:link;">

<img class="x-product-list__image t-lazy-load-image lazyload image" src="&mvte:subcategory:image;" alt="&mvte:subcategory:name; Ready to Assemble Kitchen Cabinets" loading="lazy"></a>
<mvt:item name="customfields" param="Read_Category_Code( l.settings:subcat:code, 'hp_short_desc', l.settings:hp_short_desc )" />
<div class="overlay"><a href="&mvte:subcategory:link;">&mvt:hp_short_desc; </a></div>
</picture>
<a class="u-block u-color-black x-product-list__link" href="&mvte:subcategory:link;" title="&mvte:subcategory:name;"> <figcaption class="x-product-list__figure-caption">

<span class="x-product-list__name u-color-oxide">&mvte:subcategory:name;</span>
</figcaption>
</a></figure>
</div>
</mvt:foreach>
</section>

I found my issue just by posting it here. Now to fix it.

Thanks again!
